you do not really need the boot release button.. i bought the part for S$36 and it is still sitting in my closet even after having the boot lid shield on.
Ah Leng (ex PML technician) install the switch for S$85.. he is at AMK Auto Point.

Yes!! This is the one.
Zag,
Mine E60 is the start/stop and come with the boot release button. So don't have to install.
But for those without boot release button, it is not necessary to install?

Hi all,
Sorry to break the train of thought.
I've recently been considering getting an E60 530i and have been quoted
242k for the standard vehicle. I'm also thinking of the following options as well - sunroof (S$5013), through loading (S$2004) and Bluethooth (S$1626).
Total cost of options and vehicle comes to 250.6k (242.0k+8.6k).
A couple of questions if you don't mind -
1. Is this a reasonable deal from PML and if not, how should I approach the co. to get a better deal?
2. I've been informed that the "2007" model year production will only begin in November. So should I wait till then before ordering the vehicle?
3. Since July and August will be the "Hungry ghost" month - at which time I presume that there could be a seasonal drop in sales - would that be a better time to negotiate?
Thanks for reading this and also for any replies.
Cheers,
SB

I still don't get "the mod"... where exact should I look at? What does it do?
RSLK,
You look at Ed picture above. The body piece that surround his number plate is an additional piece of bodykit I am referring to. If you check with your E60, there is nothing surrounding the number plate.
By adding this piece, your boot key hole will be covered. My initial thought was that the boot release level will also be covered but it look like it is not the case, right, Zag?
So it this case, installing the boot release button (see Bugaboo pic) is optional.

My Ride: E39 525i, E60 530i, F10
Just noticed that my rear electric blinds sits in the middle of my rear board where the 4" speakers are mounted. Does that mean that I'm not going to be able to fit in my 10" or 12" subwoofer? :'(
Will I have to get rid of the electric blind in order to fit a subwoofer? Can anyone tell me my options?

the release button does not override locked boot so i can't see the point of having it.
you have to keep the boot unlock (key slot at 6 and 12 o'clock) before you have the shield put on anyway. to open the boot either one have to press the release handle at the boot or use the remote key.

Currently I cannot open the boot with my remote key when my engine is running. I will have to exit my car to press the boot release button. This is extremely irritating when I'm picking up some friends who wanted to put stuffs into the boot and didn't know how to open it. I had to switch off my engine, press my remote key's boot release button and then start my engine again. :thumbsdown:
